The Christmas season is right around the corner. Soon, houses will don holiday lights and lawn decorations. The warmth of the season will radiate from the beautifully decorated Christmas trees, the smell of cookies baking, and from the songs like Santa Clause is Coming to Town playing throughout the house.
For the kids, the anticipation and excitement of Santa builds as the special day inches closer. They embrace the spirit and magic of the season and are filled with wonder and hope. Although it is unclear exactly when it began, writing letters to Santa is a tradition many children continue to enjoy and look forward to each year.
Create lasting memories by making letter writing to Santa a special time. Read a favorite Christmas book together. Then bring out fun supplies like special paper, stickers, Santa pencils and rubber stamps. Set the mood by having Christmas music playing, light candles and enjoy hot chocolate or cider while writing the letters. If they are old enough, have your kids help you address the letters and then let them know you will mail them.
To add to the wonderful memories, you can have a personalized letter from Santa sent directly to each of your children. You can pick one of two letters and add information relevant to your 
child, making each letter unique and special. Order by December 12 for guaranteed delivery by Christmas. The letter will then arrive in an official Santa envelope.
I hope that writing letters to Santa will be or continue to be a tradition with your family for many years.
What do you remember asking Santa for when you were a kid?
